Florida State Seminoles are planning to make a huge significant change just weeks before they play Alabama
The Seminoles are changing their playing surface just weeks before playing Alabama.
Week 1 in the college football universe is set to be pretty big, with some huge matchups everywhere. But, in central and most of northern/western Florida, along with northern Alabama, most eyes with being on the Seminoles’ game against the Crimson Tide.
This is a matchup that did just get a whole lot more interesting as of late. Jam Miller, the projected starting running back, will likely miss next week against the Seminoles. Alabama is still expected to be the favorites to win, but the Seminoles certainly have a higher chance at winning now than they did before.
The Seminoles are, though making some pretty big changes that could affect both teams, but primarily Alabama. These are changes being made just a week and some time before they game.
Seminoles making playing surface change before playing Alabama
We have all seen some of the sneak peaks of the renovations done at Doak Campbell Stadium – it looks so much better now than it did before. The seating, while it is black, looks amazing. there are new light fixtures everywhere with new designs and themes in the concourse, and better suites.
There are so many things that fans will see when they enter the stadium in August 30. But one thing that they may not notice is that the Seminoles are putting in a new playing surface.
According to Warchant.com, the knew “lay and play” field is set to cost around $300 thousand, and will be ready to play on almost immediately, while most new surfaces take some time to get rooted into the stadium.
This could cause some slipping, and really just a different surface than what Alabama may be preparing for, or even used to. You really doin’t know, honestly. Or, this could be absolutely nothing, which is more likely the case. But, something like this – as big of a change as this one is, is certainly worth mentioning.
At least the Doak is going to look beautiful.
